Coming into the regional, the CWC Bulldogs had a nice winning streak going, and they continued the trend with a win over host Hamilton County in the opening round. But not only did the Bulldogs meet their match in Flora, the Wolves made it look easy.

The game opened with a strong performance by Flora, who moved the ball and shot well. CWC found itself down early but mounted a comeback in the last couple minutes of the first. Flora took the early advantage with a 19-12 lead.

CWC attempted to tighten things up in the third, but were unable to make up any ground. Both teams picked up 16 points in the quarter and Flora had a 52-38 going into the final quarter.
